-
it's a tiny mass for this section.
-
But what is the R^2 ?
-
If I'm planning to rotate it around that point,
-
I plan to rotate around that point,
-
it is the same R^2 for everybody.
-
So, you can pull it out of the summation
-
and you just get M·R^2.
-
So, this is a very easy problem.
-
This is as easy as this problem,
-
but you clearly had only one mass
-
and all of it was at distance R from the point of rotation,
-
it's M·R^2.
